Art deco, contemporary, futuristic, tall, short...

You can tell us more about Horsham.

• thermosfisher scientific where lots of sneaky affairs happen between cocaine snorting warehouse team leaders and bored middle aged admin staff whose husbands are away on oil rigs
• Hmmmmmmm good one, I'm really not sure I have one. For a nice old building I'd have to say Denne House is my fave, it's on the outskirts of Horsham on the way to Southwater.
• The South Lodge Hotel
• Old Town Hall
• shelleys water fountain
• Apart from the town hall, i love the causeway, everything about it.
• Not a building a place. The Carfax in the centre is excellent for chilling out.
• causeway church
• Park House - it just looks good.
• The lovely house with the reall nice gardens - used to be the PINK tudor house opposite RSA club, now painted cream and opposite Holbrook Club. Gorgeous, was once on Midsummer Murders
• that strange building that choices is in! Weird!!
• The best building in horsham is no doubt MUARRYFIELD, GORDON ROAD. Here you will find an open door, plenty of alcohol and a warm bed for the night. Say you are friends of Robert and you're laughing! There will normally be some soft drugs and soft porn in circulation and some crazy circus shit such as unicycles and fire juggling.
• Thinking about it, horsham's a bit crap when it comes to architecture. the new Allders is impressive outside, but not in a great cutting edge way, just a watered down - pseudo modernistic horsham council approved approach to design. The greenhouse they bolted on to the arts centre for no discernable reason and at a cost of £2 million aint much better, the bus station is probably the best in new design, while old people just love the Carfax cos it's so great (yawn....)
• The bedford public house, stattion road
• Sun Alliance. They way it straddles the remains of a church like a fat lion over the ramains of a rabit, the large tasteful chandalier, the petty red bric work, the way it dominates the horizon... No, actually I don't like it. I think it is a nasty piece of sht.
• Piries
• The whole of the Causway.
• swimming pool its ok
• Any that serve beer
• 'choices' has a ugly building but it stocks my beloved dvd's!
• RSA Buildings are turr iffic!
• the pipe shop in middle street opposite the butchers worth a nose just to see the zippos and flurescent bongs
• THE BOLLOCK
• Green Dragon Pub
• The porter loo in the park.
• St Mary's Church, good for music performance
• The SunAlliance sports & social club! Dont moan at me, I know most of you dont like SunAlliance but its a great place for cheap drinks and general hanging out, believe me!
• Doomsday Church - Very old church which is not used anymore. The South of England chapter to the Doomsday book was written here. Very Haunted! Tale goes to walk round it anticlockwise on a full moon (6 times i think)
• The council Offices in North Street are excellent for relieving yourself on after a night in The Black Jug
• Not really a building But the Skate Park in Horsham park is well underway (should be open june) its only taken 4 years of shouting at the council and smashing up the town centre to get it built!!!
• St Marks Church spire - all thats left of the great church now they knocked the rest of it down to make way for a Royal Sun Allience building. Go see the Causeway if you want to know what Horsham looked like before it was converted to its more modernised "quaintness".
• Swan Walk
• dwites house
• Used to be the Bear but now its the Nelson.
• Go down the causeway for some lovely old buildings. Also be sure to look at the faces of the buildings around the town as some have some nice workmanship.
• Anything pre-1990
• Architecture down the Causeway and Normandy reminds you of how Horsham used to be, quiet and out of the way.
• Not strictly a building, but more like a large & very cool metal ball on a pole that fills with water and then spews it out everywhere, all over passers by and the pavement (which is extra handy in winter as it forms an instant ice rink). It's apparently a sculpture which doubles as a tribute to the ultra famous poet Shelly (who allegedly wrote some poems a couple of hundred years ago). The soggy ball can be found by that other thing thats totally unique to Horsham......Macdonalds.
• Arts Centre
• One of the things Horsham is noted for in the juxtaposition of a old Church Spire tucked into the corner of the modern Sun Alliance building, with about 2 feet clearance! Worth a look.
• Horsham Museum - really cool little museum of local history.
